Quick to Charm

Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 37-223

Comment: Shown recent signs of improvement; solid third over 6f at Churchill Downs (maiden special weight) last month; not devoid of ability based on the pick of her form and big chance.

Get Back Loretta

Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 5

Comment: Didn't offer much on her debut at Saratoga at 25-1 six weeks ago; has a nice pedigree (by Bolt d'Oro); should get involved as shown signs of ability in her exercise and has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Verdict: INORDINARY rates a strong recommendation. He makes appeal on the strength of his most recent run. Mesquite, Commandment and Local Knowledge are among the dangers.

1st	12. Local Knowledge	3/1
2nd	9. Rockies Balboa	15/2
3rd	7. Gallivant	5/1

Commandment

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

9/4

Comment: Has a nice pedigree (by Into Mischief); represents a stable with a strong record here with newcomers; should not be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Local Knowledge

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

3/1

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Ang N Ash (5f-6½f); nicely bred (by Yaupon); trainer gets plenty of debutant winners; cannot be ignored as looks to be doing the right things in his workouts.

Mesquite

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

5/1

Comment: Cherie Devaux can ready one to strike at the first time of asking; encouragement to be taken from his workouts; can make a bold bid.

Gallivant

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

5/1

Comment: Related to 6½f winner Tux; looks the part on breeding (by Into Mischief); market may guide on this one.

Rockies Balboa

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 5

Midnight Rocket

Comment: Bred to get better with time; related to Midnight Pranks (winner from 6f up to 1m½f); stable can ready one first time out; attractively bred son of Practical Joke; rates a likely contender as some good aspects to his profile.

Inordinary

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 33324

12/1

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; not disgraced when fourth at Churchill Downs over 6½f (maiden special weight) a week ago; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then has to be taken seriously.

Comment: Bred to improve with age; this son of Street Boss looks the part on breeding; trainer can prepare one to win first time out; related to Remuda (winner from 5½f up to 1m½f); market may be informative on his prospects.

Project

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Bred to get better with time; related to Jabran (winner from 4½f up to 7f); worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise.

Scuffle

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 0

40/1

Comment: Never landed a blow on his debut when last of 12 over 6½f at Kentucky Downs at 66-1 three weeks ago; shown nothing in trackwork so far and must step up if he is to threaten here.

Comment: Shares a dam with Arrogancy, a 6f winner; stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; question mark over whether he will need the experience and is best watched for now.

Two Jack

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: This son of Jack Milton makes first appearance; would be a surprise to see this one figure as hasn't shown a great deal in his trackwork.

Comment: All her winning form has come at Churchill Downs (two successes); found one too strong when beaten just under 2l at Charles Town 43 days ago in a Grade 2; drops in class; should be thereabouts as it's a positive she's dropping back to 6f and her latest effort was promising.

Comment: Normally pretty consistent and hit the bar in a stakes in June; finished fourth but only beaten 4½l in an allowance Grade 3 at Saratoga five weeks ago, a race won by the reopposing Praying; poses a threat as has wins in the formbook and she can take this step up in class in her stride.

Comment: Behind Donegal Momentum in an allowance listed when going down narrowly at Saratoga five weeks ago; admirably consistent and a prolific winner at this level; leading contender.

Comment: Dwelt at the start when a disappointing sixth at Doncaster last September in a Listed race; successful three times from seven starts in France and Britain, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process; be led by the betting on this first start on these shores.

Donegal Momentum

Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 152171

Comment: A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-12 but all his victories have been gained at a lower level; narrow scorer in an allowance listed at Saratoga (bobbled at the start) 36 days ago; jockey booking is a positive; others appeal more despite the last time out success.

Verdict: Firm preference is for LIBERTY VALANCE. He is an interesting newcomer from a good trainer. Heartily, Stormforged and Fortius should also be in the mix.

2nd	11. Liberty Valance	10/1

Heartily

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

10/11

Comment: Looks the part on breeding (by Complexity); yard gets debut winners here; can be on the premises with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire suggests the distance might suit.

Fortius

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

6/1

Comment: Stable can ready a newcomer; should be in the mix as has looked an intriguing prospect during trackwork.

Boonesboro

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 6

13/2

Comment: Disappointing sixth (went off favourite) on his debut at Kentucky Downs at 14-5 35 days ago; poses a threat as shown signs of ability in his exercise and he was strong in the market last time.

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 8

Comment: Beaten on his debut in first-time blinkers (Kentucky Downs, 6½f) at 11-2 last month; he has a shout as his experience should be an asset and the yard is flying.

Stormforged

Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 3

15/2

Comment: Beaten less than a length on his debut at Ellis Park at 15-2 six weeks ago; this son of Vekoma looks the part on breeding; entitled to respect if building on initial performance and has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Telecaster

Flash the Magic

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

50/1

Comment: First start in public for this two-year-old son of Good Magic; not overly impressive during trackwork so market could reveal prospects.

Circle Me

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

50/1

Comment: His sire is a rich source of sprint winners; trainer not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; related to Just Like Magic (winner from 6f up to 1m); would be a surprise to see this one figure.

Saint Robert's Row

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

50/1

Comment: First career start for this two-year-old; not overly impressive during trackwork so a line drawn through unless betting signals are positive.

Redemption Hour

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Shares a dam with Liam's The Great, a 6½f winner; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; trainer has a good record with newcomers; rates a likely contender with signs of encouragement in profile.

Timberline

Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Stable can ready one; shares a dam with Inventing, a 1m½f winner; bred to improve with age.
